heheh. Since I like reading your Posts, I have nothing against it -- quite the contrary!

But back to business: I am sure you are right. I guess it is a question of style. I just noticed that there are only 3 races with neither air nor astral (Ulm, Pangaia, Machaka) -- that's not a lot. And I just love Machaka so much -- but how it hurts me to puzzle over a pretender, how I always try to sneak some air or astral in.... heheh. But maybe I should just forget it and try to go without it -- I forget who wrote somewhere something along the lines of "why should I play Caelum like I play Ulm?".
